The converters were an Apogee AD16X and Fireface. The project was recorded, mixed, and mastered using Samplitude V8 Pro.
Mastering Hardware chain was Fireface->CraneSong IBIS->STC-8->FATSO->AD16X->Fireface->Samplitude
I used Melodyne Studio 3 and Samplitude to tune up the vocals a bit. I used Drumagog for subtle drum replacement (mixed in with the original drum tracks, only a little on the kick and snare).
Other effects were Samplitude EQ, Reverb, Analog Modeling Suite, UAD-1, and Waves plugins. I used very little EQ throughout the mix, but added little dips and bumps in almost every track to try and get them to gel.
The band is Lindsey Pool. The song is called "Over Me".
